SinricPro Device Creation Wizard Guide

This document provides a step-by-step guide for creating a new device using the SinricPro platform. The process is divided into four main sections: Device Information, Notifications, Timers, and Other settings.

Step 1: Device Information

Sinric Pro device creation info

The first step in creating a new device involves configuring basic information about your device.

Fields

Step 2: Notifications

Sinric Pro device creation info

Configure which events trigger notifications for your device.

Enable Notifications

Event-Based Notifications

You can choose to receive notifications when certain device state changes occur:

Notification Type Description
Connect Notify when the device connects to the cloud.
Disconnect Notify when the device disconnects.
On Notify when the device turns on.
Off Notify when the device turns off.
Lock Notify when the lock changed to lock
Unlock Notify when the lock changed to unlock
Unlock Notify when the lock changed to unlock
PM2.5 Air Quality Notify when Air Quality Rises above μg/m3 threshold
PM2.5 Air Quality Notify when Air Quality Falls falls below μg/m3 threshold
Motion Notify when a motion is detected (Daytime or Nightime)
Camera Motion Notify when motion picture is taken
Camera Snapshot Notify when snapshot taken and describe what is in the snapshot using AI
Doorbell Notify when doorbell pressed
Open Notify when open (Garage Door or Contact Sensor or Blinds)
Closed Notify when closed (Garage Door or Contact Sensor)
Temperature Notify when temperature rises above threshold
Temperature Notify when temperature falls below threshold

What’s Retrigger Time ?

It’s the delay between one notification to another. It’s used to stop sending continuous push notification.

Tip: Use these options to monitor device status and receive real-time update notifications via the SinricPro app or connected platforms.

Step 3: Timers

Sinric Pro device creation timers

Set up automatic on/off behaviors for your device using cloud-managed timers. Minimum delay is 3 seconds. Ma interval cannot be more than 1 day.

Auto Off

Auto On

⚠️ Note: Timers are cloud-based — they won’t work if the device is temporarily offline.

💡 Use Cases:

  • Blinking lights or strobe effects.
  • Safety shutoff for heaters or motors.

Step 4: Other

Sinric Pro device creation timers

Provide optional metadata about your device, especially energy consumption.

Energy Usage (Estimate)

Toggle this option to enable energy estimation features. Server calculates the device’s energy consumption based on on/off timing of the device. You can view the consumption in the Energy Estimates menu on Portal.

Fields:

💡 Why It Matters:
Energy data helps users estimate electricity costs via Alexa smart dashboards.

Recommendation:
Use manufacturer specs or a watt-meter for accurate values.
